  • UK salary sacrifice specialist shares the most pet-friendly electric car models as EV demand grows
  • Myths dispelled around electric vehicles not being suitable for pets
  • Kia Niro EV hailed as best option for small dogs, with Tesla Model Y also highly rated
  • Skoda study reveals that dogs feel calmer in EVs than in petrol or diesel cars

The Electric Car Scheme is spotlighting the electric vehicles best suited for dog owners as EVs become a mainstream choice for UK car buyers, with comfort and practicality increasingly outweighing early concerns about range.

The Kia Niro EV is recognised as the leading EV for smaller dogs, while the Hyundai Kona stands out as a versatile option for various breeds. The recommendations come as new research by Skoda indicates dogs prefer travelling in electric cars thanks to smoother, quieter driving conditions.

As EVs become more popular, more drivers new to electric cars are enquiring about details such as boot space and how easy it is to get their labradoodle into the car. This is according to experts at The Electric Car Scheme, who answer these questions daily when helping people make the switch to EVs, dispelling the myth that EVs aren’t suitable for dog owners. 

Top EVs selected by dog owners:

  • Kia Niro EV
  • Skoda Enyaq iV
  • Hyundai Kona
  • Tesla Model 3 
  • Audi Q8 E-Tron

The Electric Car Scheme CEO and Co-Founder Thom Groot commented:

“EVs are becoming a more and more sensible choice for Brits for their next car, and as concerns like range anxiety fade, other practicalities such as suitability for dogs and other pets has become a key consideration. It is a question we get all the time and we’re happy to report that many EVs are just as practical for keeping your canine companions comfortable as any other car, sometimes more so! 

“As the price of EVs comes down, with cheaper options from traditional manufacturers, government grant schemes and the used EV market, more people will be thinking about these practical concerns. For the past few years, cost has been by far the biggest consideration, our research shows that for 54% cost is the single biggest barrier to getting an EV, but these sorts of questions show that this could be on the cusp of changing.”
